At the end of the year I posted a message about medicare and the insulin pump. Your answers were very helpful and I'm looking forward to being on the pump. My endocronoligist says I'm definitely type 1 and I meet all the other criteria. He keeps saying that I should be able to avoid the really bad lows. Is this true? My blood sugars hit the 30's almost every day and I spend a lot of time wondering where I am and having panic attacks because my blood sugars are so low. It has given me one gift that I'm thankful for, I can understand what a lot of people are going through with panic attacks even though I can leave the attacks with a little carbohydrate. mary <!--more--> Catie Andrews wrote: >> Hi Catie Andrews: If you are getting a lot of lows, you have to look at how much insulin you are taking and how much complex carbs you are eating...granted there are a lot of other factors too, your activity..opps hit the touchpad again. where you inject your insulin...a lot of things affect absorption.
